This sculpture represents the fusion of a German World War Two Atlantic front bunker with a Porsche Cayenne model. Luxury SUV cars are ideologically charged. Some of these ideologies are connected to the drivers’ social status and their elitist self-segregation underlined by the objects – often of military origin – with which they surround themselves. The gated communities they live in and the tank-like high-end, off-road cars they drive are the appropriately emblematic indicators. The sculpture’s ironic humour derives from the fact that the Porsche Cayenne’s silhouette – with a couple of minor alterations – matches the outline of the Atlantic bunker, and that Ferdinand Porsche, the inventor of today’s life-style marque, was also an ingenious arms engineer and Nazi supporter.
